Triple H Miniature Horse Rescue was alerted back in late January 2010 about a horrific seizure of 141 animals in Jefferson, Texas. We were told in amongst 10 unlicensed and uninsured circus cats were parrots, exotic birds, horses, dogs, cats, ducks, turkeys, monkey, kotimundi, turtles and you name it, it was there. The animals were were all living in 3 RV trailers along with the owners.
According to the D.A.'s office the smell of urine and rotting was tremendous. The circus cats were living outside in small cages, feet sore from standing in their own urine and feces for such a long time. The Humane Society estimated that they had not been removed from their cages for over two years! A day or two before they could get there the lion passed away from illness and was buried in a pit in the back. One miniature horse was found stuffed into a portable gray dog carrier and after several weeks died from pneumonia and other complications.
In the News
58 of the 141 animals were either euthanized or died of illness. 70% of the dogs were found to have heart worms and tape or hook worms. All the domestic cats were euthanized due to rampant respiratory infections as well as the duck abd turkey as their origin was unknown for disease control.
Some of the Iguanas had mouth rot and a there was a host of other animals with other diseases. We volunteered to take the horses if other homes could not be found. They called us in a few days and said they wanted Triple H to take them as they liked what the rescue had done in the past with others. A nice compliment for the rescue.

A GRANT FROM THE ASPCA HAS MADE EXPANSION POSSIBLE
Due to a grant from the ASPCA, Triple H Miniature Horse rescue is expanding. We are constructing an additional large corral and water fountain approximately 100 feet X 200 feet where we will be ale to house more minis in need. This new area will allow for minis that are able to graze, the opportunity to have a large area to run and graze in the spring, summer and fall months. It will also provide a wonderful quarantine area if necessary. |

Muffin, poor Muffin. She came to the rescue over a year ago rescued by a bystander who happened to see her and 2 others with no feed or water in a farmers yard. They offered to buy them and immediately turned them over to us. Muffin was so terrified of people and impossible to catch. She was adopted but shortly thereafter given back for that reason. Though she was happy to give rides to the kids, she was just too hard to catch.
She came back to us and we continued to work with her but she did not seem to come around very much. She was adopted again to a family with kids who wanted to ride her. Again she gave rides but was too hard to catch. She again came back to us at the rescue. It seemed poor Muffin was just not very placable.

 Blitzen was found on Christmas Eve in a blizzard. He had been running away for 2 days as he did not like his dog house for shelter I don't think. He was found by a women across the river from he was in running. She lured him out with her min horse and he followed her all the way home right into the barn. He was so cold, scared, tired, wet and FULL of burrs. She gained ownership of him so she could turn over to the rescue. Blitzen is a yearling and we recently gelded him. He is very sweet and a bit timid. He appeared on the news for his survival miracle. The blizzard dumped 24 inches if snow that he was trying to get thru. He wants a new home where he will be loved forever.
